Glen Savage⁴¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

7/2

Gleneagles colt who looked a good prospect when edging out a smart sort on his 11f Newbury debut in April 2021. Absent since but still much respected on return.

Form: 1-

(8)

King Fairy⁷⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: S Donohoe| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83

9/1

Hasn't been seen since beating last year's Royal Ascot winner Lola Showgirl in 1m Hamilton maiden in June 2020. Must have had some issues but it could be significant that his in-form top stable has persevered.

Form: 31/

(7)

Warren Point²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| D

4/6

Won 7-runner 1¼m Newmarket maiden on debut 22 days ago. Should have more to offer for leading connections.

Form: 1

Maktoob³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

14/1

Won 11-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut 35 days ago, pushed out. Open to improvement but this does look a warm race.

Form: 1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: M Appleby

200/1

80/1, last of 14 in novice at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip. Can only watch.

Liseo^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: S & E Crisford

5/1

Promise when placed over 1¼m on turf and AW this spring, collared only late on by a very promising sort at Newcastle latterly. Likely to be winnng soon.

Form: 32

Mountain Road^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: D M Simcock

80/1

€90,000 Churchill gelding. Half-brother to French 1m winner Magic Key. Dam useful French winner up to 8.5f (including at 2 yrs). Wears hood on debut. Maktoob has to be considered yard first string unless betting hints otherwise.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: M L W Bell

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, 23¾ lengths last of 7 to Warren Point in maiden at Newmarket (1¼m, good) 22 days ago.

Forecasts

Warren Point (4/6), Glen Savage (7/2), Liseo (5/1), King Fairy (9/1), Maktoob (14/1), Wandering Rocks (40/1), Trojan Truth (50/1), Mountain Road (80/1), The Green Amigo (150/1), Kotyonok (200/1)

A fascinating novice which features the belated return of promising pair KING FAIRY and Glen Savage. The former hasn't been see for nearly 2 years but it's interesting that his top connections have stuck with him and he gets the vote, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Liseo and Warren Point also look to possess plenty of talent and should have a part to play in what looks a really useful contest.
